The Drink: POMx Vanilla
Type: Iced Coffee meets Health Drink in a bottle
Overall Rating: 2.5 Out Of 5 Coffee Cups
Before my workout today and this time I actually went for a run, I tried the third and final POMx Iced Coffee flavor – Vanilla.
The POMx Iced Coffee was sent to me for review by PomWonderful, a company that makes health conscious drinks with pomegranate. For the Vanilla flavor, they use Rainforest Alliance Certified Arabica beans, vanilla beans, reduced fat milk and organic sugar cane. The result is a drink that they say is full of anti-oxidants and will give you a healthy buzz.
I liked the Chocolate flavor, it reminded me of a Yoo Hoo, but more healthy and with a coffee kick. The Cafe au Lait flavor was drinkable although the coffee taste was a little off.
The aroma was a mix of vanilla, some mint and the smell of cough medicine. The other flavors didn’t have that and it’s safe to say that it threw me off some.
It tasted like a sweet vanilla latte. I wouldn’t have complained if the coffee taste was stronger in this one.
The vanilla flavor dominated the first sip, but as I drank more of it, a fruity flavor mixed in. It was almost like a yogurt.
As far as the after taste, it was just a little off to me. Really hard to put into words for me, but I’ll just say it was a little weird.
The Vanilla flavor gets a slightly below average 2.5 out of 5 rating. I think the Chocolate is going to stay my favorite. It had a balanced taste of chocolate and coffee. I like these POMx Iced Coffee drinks overall, they definitely have a caffeine kick that I loved and are probably more healthy then the calorie filled latte drinks that I love from Starbucks.

The commercial was ridiculous.
I am almost for sure I would not like this drink. Have you tried the Starbucks canned energy drinks? If so how do you think they compare to this?

Jason – I know you wouldn’t like this drink. I have tried the Starbucks energy drinks, just not in a long time. After tasting the POMx, it made me want to go back and try them again for review purposes. I think the POMx is legitimately more healthy, but besides the Chocolate flavor, the Starbucks tastes better and closer to traditional coffee.
